My 3 step morning routine with Vichy

KOLLABORATION || COLLABORATION

Finally, the day has arrived and I can tell you a secret I have been keeping for myself for such a long time. I might have given you some hints already. When I said “new projects coming soon” or any other cheeky details on Instagram stories, I meant this. I teamed up with the skincare brand I have been using for many years. I am proud to say that I am now officially… a National Brand Ambassador for Vichy!

I was delighted when they contacted me some weeks ago to offer me this opportunity. Vichy, the No. 1 face care brand in the Austrian pharmacy. Did you know that all their products are formulated with Vichy mineralizing thermal water, which is very rich in micronutrients that improve skin quality by accelerating skin cell renewal and diminishing pore visibility? Laboratory studies have recently revealed that it facilitates the flow of water between skin cells. Yes, they are that good at what they do. No wonder why I have trusted them for years now.

Also, I am not a fan of very long beauty or morning routines. As you already know I am a working mom who happens to spread some good vibes over the internet through this blog, run a PR Agency, and 24 hours in a day are never enough. Vichy allows me to be ready in less time every morning, simply and easy and this for me is very important.

Vichy offers a variety of different products and treatments based on thermal water (very much welcomed when your skin is very sensitive), but there are a few main products that are part of my quick Monday-Friday morning routine.

Now, let us talk about the three steps that allow me to look and feel perfect before heading to the office. Ready to rock? Here’s what my morning beauty activity looks like thanks to Vichy!

Step 1 – Minéral 89 Booster

First of all things, I wake up and I run to the fridge to get my Vichy Minéral 89 Booster. This booster stands out of the crowd because it contains two main ingredients. First, the mineralizing water. It is a miracle of nature from the preserved region of Auvergne, France, and contains nothing less than 15 minerals (Note: As we need our fair intake of fruits and vegetables to keep our body fit and healthy, our skin craves for minerals to keep it strong and youthful). The second ingredient is the highly concentrated amount of hyaluronic acid which is capable of holding over 1,000 times its weight in water and helps hydrating and plumping the skin.

My very personal trick is keeping the serum in the fridge. This adds some extra freshness to the product and it feels absolutely great on my skin. This booster has an immediate effect on the skin, allowing it to glow and hydrate right after its use. Parabens-free, silicone-free, alcohol-free and perfume-free, perfect for every skin type.

What I personally like the most about the Minéral 89 moisturizer is not only the fact that it freshens up my skin and hydrates it, the formula sinks straight into the skin and dries in literally… SECONDS. By the time I have put the bottle back in the fridge, it is already dry. The ideal product for someone like me, time is gold.

Step 2 – SLOW AGE Eye Cream

Once the booster has penetrated, it’s time for the miraculous SLOW AGE Eye Cream. One of the most important steps in a woman’s beauty routine. You know what I am talking about, right? It is super important to remember that the under-eye area is the thinnest part of the skin on our face, which means it should be taken most care of. Now, the SLOW AGE Eye Cream by Vichy contains a unique combination of ingredients that reduces the ocular shading and under eyes rings. It also reduces the swollen area and lachrymal sacs. Naturally, it also fills in those undesired wrinkles that no woman (or man) likes to welcome on her (or his) face. YAY!

Step 3 – SLOW AGE Fluid Moisturiser

Lastly, I move on to the next miracle by Vichy: the SLOW AGE Fluid Moisturiser. This one fights against my (young) signs of skin ageing because no one likes wrinkles, right? However, the SLOW AGE Moisturiser does not only treat the light ageing signs, most importantly, it prevents them. I told you it was miraculous!

Aimed at every single type of skin, this “Slow Age” by Vichy strengthens and supplies your skin with humidity to stay healthy and youthfully looking all day through. Completely recommendable. The product also contains UV-protection, is not sticky at all and sinks into the skin quickly too. The perfect last step in my daily morning routine before shooting out to the office.

By the way: The SLOW AGE Fluid Moisturiser by Vichy received the 2017 Glammy award by Glamour. Well deserved!
